I agree with the recommendation of the cave de Fleurie. I had some
Fleuries not too long ago that were very nice (even from the not
very highly estimated 2001 vintage).

From the Cave in Buxy I tried two wines:
The basic Montagny from '02 that was fairly nice - clean and crisp
Chardonnay but buying that here in Austria is not really
attractive, you get a lot of local wines similar in style with
better quality for less money.
The second was a Premier Cru Montagny from '98, tasted in 2004. I
remeber that it was really satisfying, a nice maturing white
Burgundy.
May be I'll by around Buxy this summer - I'm sure I'll try to taste
the stuff from "La Buxynoise".
